Trump Fuels Range Of Conspiracy Theories With Town Hall Answers | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

  1. Guess who has made sexual comments about under age girls ? Guess who was a friend of Epstein ?One of Trumps propaganda techniques is to get the story out there first, accuse his opponents of what he himself has been engaged in, be it corruption, drug use, ill health or sexual deviance. Remember what the Watergate Tapes were all about, using govt agencies, to dig dirt on tricky Dickys opponents.

    1. @Willy S Dude, the emails are from his laptop. I’ve read them with the metadata. You’re being lied to and are not man enough to deal with the truth. Shame on you!

      Hunters own attorney is on the record, requesting the hard drive back from the computer repair shop. You have a duty to inform yourself!

    2. @Marsh Ray those things was investigated twice and they found nothing wrongful play. But here they use a fake account if you follow up their ip address

    3. @Willy S BOOM! One of the People in Explosive Hunter Biden Email Chain Has Corroborated the Authenticity of the Emails

      Earlier this week emails and photos were released from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop that prove Hunter was bringing his international clients to meet with his father the Vice President during the Obama years.

      The emails also prove the Biden Crime Family was running a multi-million dollar pay-for-play operation selling access to VP Joe Biden.

      Several photos were released from the laptop by The New York Post that included one of Hunter sleeping like a baby with his crackpipe.

      And now, according to FOX News, one of the people on the email chain has corroborated the authenticity of the emails.

  2. There is a new cleansing product called VOTE. It’s is specifically designed to remove stubborn Orange stains..

    Trump is like a Halloween pumpkin, orange on the outside, hollow on the inside and gets thrown out in November

    1. Yes, and we couldn’t agree more.
      “Since primaries were born in 1912, no incumbent has ever lost the general election after receiving 75% or more of the votes from their party in the primaries. Trump received 94% of all cast in the 2020 Republican primaries.”

    2. MSNBC ARE SELL OUTS!! NBC (MSNBC parent company) decided to give in and air Trump’s townhall DURING Biden’s, and MSNBC decided to air Trump’s INSTEAD of Biden’s!!! Who cares about democracy. If you want REAL progressive news, check out David Pakman.

  3. This administration and it’s adherents…in particular those unable to even contemplate a White House without the toxic pumpkin…are, without a doubt, capable of going in some pretty dark directions in the not too distant future. In my opinion, the greatest thing Trump could do for America at this point would be to have himself a massive, irreparable coronary while he’s sitting alone on the john at 4am or so. An act of involuntary benevolence…his greatest gift to America. Now THAT, would be a legacy to remember.

  4. For the love of God, why does the media insist on referring to ‘militia’. The US does not have any militia. The nearest it has is the National Guard. A militia is a legitimate force raised in times of conflict. These people are armed thugs; nothing more, nothing less.

    1. Well said. There’s nothing about these typically white supremacist, overweight posers that constitute ‘a well regulated militia’. As a foreigner it is beyond me how the second amendment can be used to protect these groups and your gun culture. I just don’t get how any society that calls itself ‘civilised’ permits this.

    2. What do you call the white supremacists and the proud boys he told during the debate to stand up and stand by?

    3. MSNBC ARE SELL OUTS!! NBC (MSNBC parent company) decided to give in and air Trump’s townhall DURING Biden’s, and MSNBC decided to air Trump’s INSTEAD of Biden’s!!! Who cares about democracy. If you want REAL progressive news, check out David Pakman.

    4. @G M that’s right, the 2 ammendment was based on that when U.S. didn’t have to army to stand up against England.
      We have no national guard and the world best equipped army.
      2 ammendment is out of date and it need a change

  5. It seems to me that perhaps the most unreasonable, angry, confrontational and full of doom and gloom man in America became its president.

    1. @Orson Carte Did you think any of us thought that your guy being a 100% criminal and using his position to illegally enrich his family, mattered to you?

      We knew you didn’t care about truth, honor, love, integrity and the law.

      Newly obtained emails from a Hunter Biden business partner lay out in detail how the Vice President’s son and his colleagues used their access to the Obama-Biden administration to arrange private meetings for potential foreign clients and investors at the highest levels in the White House. These never-before-revealed emails outline how a delegation of Chinese investors and Communist Party officials managed to secure a private, off-the-books meeting with then-Vice President Joe Biden.

      In a 2011 email, Hunter Biden’s business associates also discussed developing relations with what one called “China Inc.” as part of a “new push on soft diplomacy for the Chinese.” These emails are completely unconnected to the Hunter Biden emails being released by the New York Post.

    2. @Marsh Ray What I REALLY think is that it truly is a shame that your country is infested with you conspiracy nutjobs who are all too eager to believe fake news without being in possession of any REAL proof. The damage you fake fact addicts are doing to your country is incalculable.

    3. @Marsh Ray And he most certainly isn’t ‘my guy’, ignorant person, I just hate the insanity, witch hunts and toxic climate of current US politics since the Dear Leader was elected.

    4. MSNBC ARE SELL OUTS!! NBC (MSNBC parent company) decided to give in and air Trump’s townhall DURING Biden’s, and MSNBC decided to air Trump’s INSTEAD of Biden’s!!! Who cares about democracy. If you want REAL progressive news, check out David Pakman.

  6. The short description of this event: The village fool held court for his unsuspecting rats

    This coward did not want to debate Joe Biden in a virtual setting because he could easily be muted and would have to behave like a not quite so insane person to participate. He prefers this format anyway, he can lie all evening along without anybody challenging him.

    As for him pandering to #Qunts after embracing all garden varieties of racists, white supremacists and nazis – its only logical to him.

    1. yep… he’s not keen on anything that he cannot control the narrative of. It’s fine by me.. it just makes him look even more unhinged and crazy. I have a hard time believing that anyone is on the fence here.

    2. Joe needs M to point out clearly the sum total of indictments in his administration vs that of Obama Biden ticket then compares both to president Nixon. It says Alot⁸

    1. @Brian Nave …..this is a non starter. Have you forgotten Trump, a sitting President, was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/president-trump-impeached-house-of-representatives – remember Stormy Daniels, the Russian pee tapes, the 215,000 dead Americans due to Trump’s dereliction of duty, his miniscule $750 tax payment in 2016 and 17 and none paid 10 years prior, his abuse of the Emoluments Clause, his 2017 tax cut that benefitted the top 1% and added 1 trillion + to the national debt, China’s fast tracking of 41 trademarks to the Trump’s since 2016, his half a billion dollars of debt owed to who? Phew….I’m positive I’ve missed some but I’m sure you get the idea. Perhaps not. After all, you’re a Trump supporter so knowledge and truth are a foreign concept to your ilk. Oh…one additional note – Hunter Biden is not the candidate.

  7. The cheerleader in chief only cares for himself, his businesses and his reelection. The look on pumpkinheads face gets more lunatic day by day. The look in pumpkinheads eyes gets more and more lunatic day by day. The noose around his turkeyneck is tightening. The straightjacket is made to fit. Pretends to know everything. Knows nothing, understands nothing and tells more lies, lies, lies than you and I can breathe. Sudafed snif snif snif, slur slur slur. Adderall snif snif snif, slur slur slur. The so called president of the USA is a drug addict. What next can we expect from the cheating incestuous rabid racist grifter calling himself the president of the USA? Racism is trickling down. One flew over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.. Disgusting, deplorable, desperate, dangerous.

    1. ​@emily Reid There is nothing well said about his comment. It reads like a person that is in an insane asylum wrote it.

      Nothing but lies and childish, unfounded gibberish!

    2. Theres no racism dude. People of color get treated better in the west than in their home country (if it was better there, they would have stayed there)

    3. MSNBC ARE SELL OUTS!! NBC (MSNBC parent company) decided to give in and air Trump’s townhall DURING Biden’s, and MSNBC decided to air Trump’s INSTEAD of Biden’s!!! Who cares about democracy. If you want REAL progressive news, check out David Pakman.

    4. A drug addict? Trump? That’s funny. Exactly how delusional are you? The only racists are the Democrats. Joe Biden is their patron saint.

  8. Osama Bin Laden is definitely dead because if he were still alive Trump would call him a very good person and a good friend, like he does with the rest of the enemies of the United States.

    1. @Terence Walsh I might be a fool. I might very well be a fool. There are a lot of people out there who are bigger fools than me and clearly you are one of them. But nevertheless, thanks for the post you kind of made my day.

    2. @Let’s grow You can believe that if you like. A lot of people do and then they are proven wrong. Nevertheless thanks for the post it’s interesting to see how people out there think.

    3. MSNBC ARE SELL OUTS!! NBC (MSNBC parent company) decided to give in and air Trump’s townhall DURING Biden’s, and MSNBC decided to air Trump’s INSTEAD of Biden’s!!! Who cares about democracy. If you want REAL progressive news, check out David Pakman.

  9. Who actually believes a man who has been accused of raping girls as young as 12/13 is actually against pedos?

  10. Last night we had a tale of two candidates: Joe Biden was like Bruce Lee: calm, humble and dignified. Trump, on the other hand, was like a slimy used car salesman. He’s doing a great job alright, a great job at killing Americans – we’re creeping up to the 220,000 dead mark.

    1. Well said. BIDEN IS SO WELL Equiped to be president that I wonder if this is how people felt about Roosevelt and their kithen table issues. All the slime and muck of the trump admin. Aged biden wurse than trump because he has a deep and caring conscience. He has the right answer to every question. Hes learned thoughtful and humble. If he loses to Klown…only the US actually loses.

    2. MSNBC ARE SELL OUTS!! NBC (MSNBC parent company) decided to give in and air Trump’s townhall DURING Biden’s, and MSNBC decided to air Trump’s INSTEAD of Biden’s!!! Who cares about democracy. If you want REAL progressive news, check out David Pakman.

    3. Biden was calm because he does not know where he is and it was almost bed time. Dignity…His 47 year career predicated on nothing….Trump has done more for this country and for the workers….

  11. They were SO quick to send out the national guard to protect federal buildings, let’s see if they are dispatched to protect voters from trumps qanan and nazi gustapo in November

    1. There will be a few screaming crazies runnin around w their AK whatevers, but bc those ppl are stupid cowards, most will skittle back under their rocks and lick their wounds, creating new conspiracy theories to freak out over…do you remember the Obama secret forces in labyrinths under the Denver airport? I do.

    2. @theBellIsTolling so true! Secret tunnels… like in US? I don’t and I don’t want to learn 😭😭😭
